The Tranquility Effect...

I bought myself a sunsun 800lph internal filter today. Attached the spray bars so it ripples the water surface. So I currently got. This filter. Then my Eheim 300lph and another Eheim 500lph in The Tranquility effect. So I filter my tank roughly around 5.5 times per hour. Fish are enjoying the current. Also added another 250ml of Seachem Matrix got 350ml matrix total.

Nice. On all my tanks I run a canister and an interternal for circulation. In the cans I run a pre filter sponge on the intakes, they have 3 baskets and from botom to top its sponge with bio-bio-floss. I rinse the intake sponges with every wc and rinse cans and replace the floss once a month. The pre sponges really helps a lot to keep gunk out of the cans.

 

In my Cascade 1200 I have ceramic rings in the bottom, then 2 sponges in the first basket, followed by about 2.5kg of Seachem Matrix in 2 baskets, then in the final basket I have filter floss and a 100g sachet of Purigen.
Filter floss gets changed out with every water change.

 

Yay I eventually fetched some osmocote from Kogan for my Amazon swords. Also got some Seachem flourish and Seachem nitrogen and also some Nature no salts for potassium also added a pinch or two epsom salts my plants will get all their nutrients now. Will get some salpeter for little extra nitrates. I know I need to dose ei on the low scale.
